Gossip [&] the Devil

As you know I’ve dedicated a lot of blog space Kill Hannah. They are survivors, musicians and friends. While everyone I know is suffering this year, it doesn’t make it any easier to sit by and watch them hurt.

Having traveled the world over trying to bring their special blend of dreaming and believing to the masses, they’ve never given up hope–in spite of record sales, in spite of label woes and even in spite of a bus fire that destroyed everything they owned only a year ago.

“It’s the curse of Kill Hannah,” quipped Mat Devine a couple of years ago in regards to the trials he and his band have faced. But this is a new level of hell.

Today, Wednesday November 11th, their van and all of their gear was stolen between the hours of 4am and 11am today in Philadelphia, PA. Over $120,000 worth of gear was lost, including some custom, irreplaceable guitars and stacks.

Devine says, “We’re devastated and speechless. We’ve been touring so hard around the world for the past seven years and this is the most evil thing we’ve witnessed. Special Crimes say this was a coordinated heist.”

Regretfully they had to cancel their last two shows on their current tour with Papa Roach and Jet but their annual Christmas experience, New Heart For Christmas they assured us, was still on.

Specific gear stolen includes:

* Epiphone Elitist Riviera Custom Shop SN#T301722
* 1992 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Bass
* Pair of matching vintage 1968 Fender Bassman Heads Custom Shop
* Gibson ES-135 RED
* 2003 Gibson Firebird WHITE
* Marshall Triple Lead Stack

So please, anyone in Philly, keep an eye on your local pawn shops and to everyone around the world keep an eye on eBay.
